The Evolution of a Girl is a collection of poetry and prose taking the reader from girl to woman; from heartbreak and anger to transformation and rebirth. It speaks of the strength we find when learning to accept ourselves and the unbreakable softness that comes from unyielding self-love. The Evolution of a Girl is a book for those who are hurting, for those who are healing, and for those who are ready to try again.

Lauren E. Bowman is a 34-year-old writer born and raised among the Gulf of Mexico marshes and sweeping oaks of north Florida, USA. After falling in love with writing at a young age, Lauren decided to pursue a minor in Creative Writing from Florida State University, where she focused more on short stories, essays, and technical writing until, feeling the need to better understand who she was, where she was going, and what she wanted from life, she began to explore the power of poetry.

Her debut collection of poetry and prose, The Evolution of a Girl, was born from this period of exploration, growth, and discontent that so many of us face while attempting to understand where we fit into this world. Her second collection of poetry, What I Learned from the Trees, delves into the intricate relationship between humans and nature, and how these often overlooked, everyday interactions affect us as individuals, families, and communities.

Lauren’s writing is blunt, bold, and speaks with raw honesty about her personal struggles with relationships, self-acceptance, and self-love. Her work seeks to encourage others to learn from and rise above their own difficulties and doubts, and to find a place of reflection, empowerment, and acceptance.

I don't have the right words like Bowman does, but that's just it. She says so perfectly what I feel and think. Or when I can't grasp at what something in my memories means to me, I've found that meaning in her book. I haven't finished it yet, but have nearly tagged the entire book with my favorites! I send pictures of her poems to my sisters to inspire. I bought another copy for my friend and we have discussed her poems so many times! This book is moving and beautiful and you truly need to read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Felt seen, words hit so deep
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023

I absolutely love this book. I went through some hard times including a bad break up and major life changes and this book was incredibly healing. I felt like the words on the pages were exactly the feelings I was having and I could identify and work through the pain. I took this book on hikes with me and read a few pages a time and would draw what I resonated with. Buying this for a friend going through something similar.

I cannot say enough good things about this book! The writing is beautiful and I really related to the topics. I’ve found it hard to find a lot of popular poetry that isn’t about romantic love. This book was about such deep, inward growth, self love, and evolution. So excited to see what this author does next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought 2nd Copy - Messages to re-read again and again
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020

I first discovered L.E. Bowman on instagram, and quickly those words filled my 'saved' tab. I ordered The Evolution of a Girl in paperback, because I love turning down pages in a book that resonate with me. Well, I realized with this book, I couldn't do that. I wanted to mark nearly every page on my first read-through.

Every bit of this book feels like it was written for me. I truly feel seen and understood by this writer. I'd buy anything she wrote. Even better, she is incredibly kind, humble, and responsive to fans. This is an under appreciated artist and I beg you, please read her work. I'm even beginning to make hand embroidery stitching and hand lettering and calligraphy with my favorite quotes of hers!

**Bought a second copy because I lent my dog-eared copy to a friend... and I can't remember which! Free copy for them to share!!!

I liked the book because it was an easy read that was not too complicated. The transformation of younger girl to younger lady was more obvious towards the end of the book, and it was a surprise.

The book itself arrived in good condition.

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018

For a long time now, I've been searching for a book of poetry that is a mirror of my own soul. I finally found it in "The Evolution of a Girl." L.E. Bowman's words have given light to the feelings I have had a difficult time expressing as I've gotten older. I used to write poetry as a carefree teenager, but have withdrawn within myself as I've aged and have struggled with the loss of my artistic expression. Since reading this book, I have started to write a few things and hope to continue to be able to do so. I would like to say thank you to L.E. Bowman for releasing her magic unto the world in the form of this beautiful book about the female voyage of self-doubt, realization, and growth. Truly an inspiring read!

This would be a quick read except that it's so deep I have to put it down every few pages so I can ruminate on the ideas. Filled with painful truths and empowering words - this really has mirrored my own personal growth in many ways and I've found it both validating and enlightening.

I really love this book, it's easy to read, very well written, and powerful in places. Very relatable when you've been in damaging relationships and are coming, or have come, out the other end.

Love the poems in here, some really spoke to my soul. Others I felt as if I could feel the author. Great read if you are currently battling difficulties as a female or have in the past, it touches on relationships both romantic and familial, personal journey and self doubt but also self love. It takes you through a beautiful roller coaster of emotions
